All applicants except those who earned their first law degree entirely in English in an English-speaking country must take the TOEFL iBT or the paper-based TOEFL and the Test of Written English (TWE) for admission in LLM course in Columbia Law School

They do not accept the IELTS or any other exam in place of the TOEFL.

The minimum scores required for admission are:

TOEFL iBT: 105 overall score, with 26 on Reading and Listening sections and 24 on the Speaking and Writing sections;

Paper-based TOEFL: 620 overall score, with 59/60 on the Structure/Writing and Reading sections, 60/61 on the Listening section, and 5.0 on the TWE.

If your scores fall below these levels, your chances of admission could be adversely impacted even if other factors in your application are strong.

You must decide whether to repeat the test based on how far below these scores your results fall; they cannot make this decision for you.

If you are applying for Early Review, your scores must be in your CAS report by November 3

All score reports they receive directly from ETS will be discarded.

You should take the TOEFL no later than their regular application deadline, December 15

TOEFL scores are valid for a maximum of two years
